The entire configuration is done under port-profile and
it gets replicated on the interfaces as soon as port-profile is mapped to the
interface. All the configuration changes in port-profile will be replicated in the
interface. It is not an initial template but an updating template which always
attached to the interface.

be done on many interfaces.
There are below types of Port-profiles:-
- Ethernet:
– It is used when port-profile applied on the physical interfaces. - Port-channel:-
Used in case of port-channel - Interface-vlan:
– When port-profile is applied on the SVI.
Below is the process used to configure and apply the
port-profiles:-
Step1. Create
the port-profile based on the type of interface it is getting mapped. There are
four types of port-profile like Ethernet, interface-vlan, port-channel and
tunnel-te.
